Aikido is a relatively new martial art dating from the 1920's when its founder, Morihei Ueshiba (O-Sensei), began to develop what he came to call Aikido. Aikido means ""the way (do) to harmony (ai) with ki"".

Many Aikidoists think of ki as the universal spirit present in all things. "Harmonious ki" or aikimay also be thought of as "that which is right". Sometimes it is "aiki" (right) to fall or fail, or to cause an opponent to fall or fail, but "not aiki" to add punishment to action. This moves you from the negative trap of revenge thinking, the neutral of retribution, to the positive of control or constraint for the sake of all concerned, to accord with what is right.
